Product details

Automotive-grade 50 MHz clock in a 2.5×2.0 mm MEMS package

The DSC1201DL3-50M00000: It is AEC-Q100 qualified, making it suitable for under-hood and engine-bay clocking where a quartz crystal would need additional screening. Supply voltage spans 2.5V to 3.3V, so the same part number works on a 3.3V MCU rail or a 2.5V FPGA bank without a separate level translator. The standby (power-down) function drops supply current to 5 µA max — useful for modules that sleep the clock tree and wake on a bus event.

Standby power-down for battery-conscious designs

When the enable pin is pulled low, the oscillator enters standby mode and draws 5 µA max — compared to 27 mA typ when running. For a telematics unit that spends most of its life in sleep, that difference extends the backup-battery hold-up time from hours to days.

Frequently asked questions

Is the DSC1201DL3-50M00000 AEC-Q100 qualified?

Yes, it carries AEC-Q100 ratings, which means it has passed automotive-grade stress tests including temperature cycling, ESD, and latch-up. This qualifies it for under-hood and cabin electronics where a commercial-grade oscillator would be a reliability risk.

What is the standby power-down function on the DSC1201DL3-50M00000?

The standby (power-down) function disables the output and reduces supply current to 5 µA max. It is controlled via the enable pin — pull low to enter standby, pull high or leave floating for normal operation. This is useful for battery-backed modules that need to conserve power when the clock is not required.
